Lets Help Olivia + Flash Giveaway Blitz

When I learned that Olivia had entered to win a van equipped for someone with disabilities, I wanted to help her win.

I immediately knew the right crowd to turn to for help: BOOKWORMS! We
book lovers are the warm, deep-hearted sort of folks who love to help
others.

So, I thought I'd contact a group of my author and
bookworm friends to see if they'd like to help me put together a
giveaway to reward you for your efforts in helping us help Olivia win!

The list of booty is growing, and I'll post changes to the list on theFlash Giveaway Blitz Event Page as more donations pour in from the awesome authors I know and love.
Please join the FB event to stay abreast of all the changes.But,
before we get to the rules of the giveaway, I wanted you to meet sweet
Olivia. So I did a little interview with her to share with you.

Hi,
Olivia! Thank you for joining us and giving us the opportunity to get
to know the cutest little cowgirl in Texas! We Bloggers, Readers, and
Authors are so honored to have the opportunity to join together to help
you in your venture to win this awsome van! If there’s one thing
Bookworms know, it’s this: we can do anything we set our minds to
doing!

1. Tell us about yourself. What’s your favorite hobby or occupation?

Well
let’s see. I’m 21 years old and I’m a college sophomore at Tyler Junior
College. I’ll graduate in August with 2 associate degrees: radio/TV
broadcasting and agriculture. I grew up showing livestock mainly lambs
and heifers, but I’ve shown goats, horticulture projects and a few home
economic projects at the ETX State Fair. I am a motivational speaker and
have traveled all over Texas speaking. I’m the evening web producer at
KYTX CBS 19 and been working there for almost a month.

2. What’s your college major? What do you plan to do once you graduate?

At
TJC I’m a Radio/TV Broadcasting and Agriculture associate major. At UTT
I will be a Multimedia Journalism major with a minor in Terrorism
Studies.

3. Do you have a favorite hobby?

I love shopping, reading, hanging out with family and friends, traveling and watching movies

I have several. The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Help.

6. Who’s your hero … a person who’s inspired you?

I
don’t have just one hero. My style comes from Lilly Pulitzer because
her stuff stands out and has that classy feeling. My actions come from
Jackie Kennedy, because after all “I’d rather be a Jackie, than a
Marilyn.” My attitude comes from other people with disabilities or
sickness that can’t get out and so I try to show people that even though
I have a disability doesn’t mean I’m helpless. I think sometimes I have
a better brain and bigger heart than some normal abled bodies. My Aunt
Kristi died in December of 2013 and she fought cancer for so many years
and never once gave up. She was such a Godly woman and never lost her
faith through her journey. I think that’s where a lot of my fighting
will comes from is from people like that.

7. What’s the best thing about being a cowgirl?

My
stubbornness and fighting will. I can stand on my own two feet and I
don’t rely on anybody but Jesus Christ. I’ve learned a lot of my
patience and responsibility from taking care of livestock. I’ve learned
about buying and raising an animal, showing and finally selling to go to
the market and I make money to purchase another animal. It has taught
me all about life and made me the person I am.

8. Is there anything you’d like to say to everyone reading this interview?

Never
judge somebody whether they are disabled or not. Go out and chase your
dreams no matter how big or crazy it may seem. Also vote for me to help
me win this wheelchair accessible vehicle. And THANK YOU for helping me
win!

Thanks, Olivia! That was fun getting to know you better!

Now, on to the contest! WOOHOO! There are TONS of AWESOME PRIZES!!!! And it’s EASY TO WIN!
